RALEIGH, NC, June 19, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The diverse nature of Jon Batson's short fiction writing has won him awards for sci-fi to historical fiction.
"I ascribe to the adage 'writers write'. I began and still am a songwriter, but felt a creative pull to write more than songs and musical theatre to tell a story. One morning I woke up with a dream running through my head based on an article I read about identity theft. I ran to the computer to get it down. The result was the action/adventure novella "The Rands Conspiracy." That's how it all began for me." said Batson.
Batson's writings range from micro, flash fiction, and short fiction to novels - "Deadly Research" written in 18 days for the annual NaNoWriMo Contest and a sci-fi saga he calls "The Trasaron Chronicles."
The tales of the Summer Series are organized by type of story and released monthly. "From a relentless summer night in New York City to the chilly mist over Thompson Bog, five stories of dark and sinister intent. If you can't sleep, this won't help" describes the June release of the 134 page read "Murder at Thompson Bog and Other Short Stories."
July will bring "Encounter at a Small Cafe" 12 light fiction stories and in August be ready for the six sci-fi shorts that make up "Doll Bodies."
You can follow "Luna Nightmares" the serialized first story of "Murder at Thompson Bog" at http://midnightwhistler.blogspot.com/ or purchase the hard copy and eBook at lulu.com or the Kindle version at Amazon.
